The Philosophy of the Limit 

In

The Philosophy of the Limit Drucilla Cornell examines the relationship of deconstruction to questions of ethics, justice and legal interpretation. She argues that renaming deconstruction ‘the philosophy of the limit’ will allow us to be more precise about what deconstruction actually is philosophically and hence to articulate more clearly its significance for law. Cornell”s focus on the importance of the limit and the centrality of the gender hierarchy allows her to offer a view of jurisprudence different from both the critical social theory and analytic jurisprudence.
